DEStech
Publications, Inc. announces the publication of Creep + Fracture in High
Temperature Components: Design + Life Assessment Issues.
This book, the
second in a series, is an important compendium of European and worldwide research
investigating
creep, fatigue and failure behaviors in metals under high-temperature and other
service
stresses. Comprising over 110 fully refereed and not previously published papers,
this volume is
intended to help set the standards for coordinating creep data and for maintaining
defect-free
quality in high-temperature metals and metal-based weldments. Areas of application
include
power generation, furnaces, pipes and tubes, and turbine components. Presentations
cover microstructural
testing, as well as in-plant component performance of a variety of steels and
alloys.
New information is presented for alloys that do not undergo Type IV cracking.
In addition, data
is offered for life assessment and long-term protection of metal-based assets
with special attention
paid to emerging applications of metals in nuclear power reactors and plants.

Publication was edited by I.A. Shibli, European Technology Development, Surrey,
